Welcome to 35 Sands Road, a beautifully expanded and updated Cape-style home set on just under an acre along a private way near First Encounter Beach and Herring Pond. This spacious 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence blends classic Cape Cod charm with modern amenities and thoughtful design. A substantial 2004 addition introduced a luxurious primary suite and enhanced the home's open, comfortable layout. The kitchen features granite countertops, a center island, and abundant cabinetry, flowing seamlessly into a spacious living area. In 2024, a 3 season room was added overlooking the landscaped grounds. Walk through the French-doors that lead to the den with fireplace, 3 bedrooms, and office/studio. Hardwood floors run throughout much of the home, while two decks provide inviting outdoor living spaces. Established gardens, terracing, and two outdoor showers create the perfect Cape Cod setting for relaxation after a day at the beach. Additional, amenities include an oversized two-car garage, solar panels, a storage shed, and two separate basements offering excellent storage and future expansion potential. Your Cape Escape Awaits

Outer Cape, located between Cape Cod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean, is a coastal and conservation-minded Eastham neighborhood with dune-backed beaches and pine-scented trails. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Orleans–Eastham Rotary at US-6 and MA-6A, where roadside seafood shacks, bike-rental counters, and beach-day essentials set a salt-air tempo. Low-slung Cape cottages and shingled homes sit behind scrub oak, with long driveways and dark-sky nights. The Cape Cod National Seashore frames daily rhythms with Nauset Light Beach and Coast Guard Beach. The Cape Cod Rail Trail threads through town for car-free rides to ponds and bay flats. The Eastham Windmill and the Three Sisters Lighthouses keep local history in view.
